Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

I bring this backpack with me wherever I go! Whether I'm bringing it to school, on a backpacking trip on the Appalachian trail, or a day trip to New York, this bag is perfect in every situation. It is durable, resistant to things like dirt and water, and there is a place for everything I need (not to mention it it is extremely stylish and cool!).

I use this to go to school and for soccer gear.

My son said its the best he has ever had!

Great product with lots of features, I would definitely recommend this backpack

My son Jacob he is in high school!! The amount of books that he brings home just crazy Recon backpack is will made to Carrie big loads of books with No problems!! North face three thumbs up !! also Great option in colors!!

I think this is perfect for school. It has many pockets for all the things I need between home and school. Fits my 17' laptop and multiple notebooks.

I love the backpack except for the size of the front pocket.

I absolutely love this backpack. The back is straight and prevents things, such as folders, from bending. This can cause a slight discomfort but is necessary for the safety of your items! Plenty fits in it and it isn't too uncomfortable to wear. Looks great too!

I use it for everything, but mostly school. Since I spend long days on my campus, and it is by far the best backpack I have ever had. It IS worth the money. Comfortable and not too bulky or too small. It is the perfect fit for this bear.

Bought this for nursing school! Love it! It's perfect!

Super sturdy n great for college

Every year since my Goddaughter started school it became a tradition that I buy her a backpack for her birthday, which is the weekend before the new school year starts. This year she starts Middle school and I already got an A+ for the year getting her this backpack. She said her first week with it to school felt and looked awesome on her! It is the best Choice yet! Durable and comfortable!

The colors are so attractive, but after adding ny school supplies inside. It lacks space and constantly fearing the straps will break off because they are not really well atached. With all the cushion added the straps it still causes your shoulders with SO MUCH PAIN!!!!! Last season straps were so much better!

I am a high school student and it fits all my binders. Luckily, I can leave all my textbooks at home because I wouldn't to be able to fit everything in there, but it would be hard to find a backpack that could! There is lots of pockets for my pens, pencils, highlighters, etc. The pocket without the zipper in the front is great for carrying my little purse and lunch and the bottle pockets on the side are great and don't let my bottle slide out. The straps are comfy and the computer slip is great. My favorite part is the top pocket that is lined for my phone and my sunglasses, easy access!

I'm able to carry my class folders and books along with my clarinet case.

Everything is perfect about it. Love everything about it.

Love the new design features and the color. I got the dark gray with pink(ish) straps, its beautiful! I use this backpack for school mostly but also for our weekend adventures. Its hiked to the top of mountains, roughed it camping in the wilderness, put up with my boys over-filling it with rocks, sticks and other outdoor treasures and still looks great. I had a previous North Face backpack that was great to the end, so I'm hoping this one will last and hold up just as well. Its a little stiff and heavy but after wearing and breaking it in a bitt, its more comfortable. Probably not a lot I can do to fix how heavy it is, but hopefully that just means its durable.

As a commuter student in college, I needed something that would do well when walking around campus and going from one place to another. This bag holds a lot and has pockets for almost everything. I love this bag, and I don't think I would buy another one besides this one!

I really love this backpack. I bought it for law school, and it comfortably holds my laptop, two casebooks, my 1.5 inch binder, and my lunch. Lots of other law students have the same one.

I use this bag for college and it fits all my books and lapyop in it.

I bought this for my son to take to College. It's the perfect size, great construction, looks great and has all the right compartments plus his laptop is safe and secure. Even fully loaded, this backpack is comfortable on his back and shoulders. Love it!

I was looking for a backpack that could finally handle all of my classes at once. Since I only had them twice a week I was looking for a backpack that could handle all of those books. I found one! I was/am so happy with this backpack and plan on if it ever wears out getting another!

I am a graduate student, so I use this book mostly for school. Overall I love the design and quality of this backpack. I only have two minor complaints: 1) I can only carry one text book, one notebook and my laptop in the large compartment (in all fairness though it is a rather large textbook), and 2) the bag has a tendency to want to fall forward no matter how it's positioned or loaded (its just a bit annoying when trying to situate it in the narrow seating rows of class while still being able to comfortably access the front pockets...then again I've only been using it for about a week so maybe that will correct itself once it's a bit more broke in). Like I said very minor complaints. For the most part I love it. It is very comfortable even when filled with my heavy textbook and laptop. The fleece lined pockets are wonderful. I would absolutely buy it again and/or recommend it to a friend.

I use my North Face backpack to school, and it is very helpful. I have to carry a lot of heavy books and binders and it all fits in the backpack and it's comfy too!

Great backpack for school!!!
